Hi Brandon,
Think it is a bit of a mix.
The Waterman #7 is size of a waterman 55. One must watch for barrel swaps.
Perhaps less well known than the Ripple #7 is its little brother, the Ripple #5 which is the size of... a Waterman 52.
A Ripple #5 should have a keyhole #5 nib iirc (which is same size as earlier #2 nib, just as the #7 nib in a Ripple number seven is same size as earlier 55's #5 nib)
I think you have a 52 barrel with a #5 cap.
regards
david

Dunno. A gold #2 waterman nib, should be $35+ retail. A #5 cap if clean has real value, but only if someone needs the cap

That cap looks to be a bit of a wreck. Color band is all deteriorated, and the cap band has been polished so hard that it's not only brassed, it's worn all the way through to the other side. Who knows what the clip looks like.
